after installing tiger, fonts look unsmooth and just different then before. i checked font smooting and its on. also, when i minimize something, the little application icon that appears with it is blurry.
 
I do know that Tiger changed its style of Font Smoothing from Panther. Maybe that is what you are noticing?

Hey I was having this problem too, and it was driving me crazy. Some of the text in Safari looked like they were thicker than normal and the letters were touching. After messing with the font controls in every single place I could find in safari and sys pref., I finally rebooted and everything was fixed when i logged back in.

So try rebooting.
